19 Working with folders

Virtualization Services Manager (VSM) enables you to create folders in order to manage your entities.
Many users find it difficult to locate specific entities because the VSM client can contain thousands of
entities of each entity type. Folders provide a powerful tool for organizing your entities. You can
customize your own folders in a hierarchical folder structure with multiple subfolders. You can add
entities to folders and access entities from within folders.
